This is DiPiatoro in Rothenberg.

I got a really bad paper cut yesterday.

Because it wasn't your guard variety. It was on one of those big holiday magazines that you get. Oh, no. Swipe through. And all this, I was like, oh! It was a big stick book, and I put my index finger there and just swipe the cross. Oh! I'll tell you all. And now I'm going to have to live with that. It's probably going to be a scar.

This is D.P.8 Row and Rothenberg.

I don't use this word loosely.

Selfless.

On ESPN, New York.

And streaming live on YouTube.

All right, D&R with you, ESPN New York, despite the blood loss last night and the pain of a shower.

I battled through, and I thought I provided a pretty good first hour for everyone here today.

I give you credit.

Yeah?

Yeah, I don't know if I'd necessarily use that word selfless, but, I mean, toughness?

There's a resiliency that you're seeing today that you don't always see from me. Which I didn't think it existed a couple weeks ago. I don't think on our like our five things, resiliency was at the top of your list, but clearly now you're making an effort. And I appreciate that. You know, you're not perfect. None of us are perfect. No, no one's perfect. I had a flub, slip up. It's going to happen, bound to happen. But if I can take that five and now get that to, you know, to three, we got resiliency up to three, which means you're also growing at the same time. That's growth. I mean, I can't ask for anything else as a teammate. Thank you. Thank you for that. Well, you asked for a change of quarterback, and gosh darn it, you now have your change at quarterback. The Jets, I don't know if the plan was to make it public or it got out there so he had to make it public. But it sounds like he told the guys. Tyrae Taylor, going to your starting quarterback this week, against the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, I don't think he had a choice, right? Like, I mean, I think if you're going to be in that locker room telling you guys that we're, you know, we need you to do everything we, you know, we ask because we want to put ourselves in the best position to win as many football games down the stretch here as possible. You can't keep running Justin Fields out there as the quarterback.

No.

Can't.
